Good god, all the WWE fans or just trolls on the dirt sheet websites acting like this wasn't huge or successful, like, "oh it was just Chicago, his hometown", like have they not seen every arena WWE has been to the last 7yrs, chanting CM Punk every night, people are delusional to think this wasn't a huge deal for AEW & Wrestling as a whole, now if Bryan Danielson does debut on September 22nd in NY, man, that'll be huge too.

I don't know how they can be that delusional. Morons.

I know, just WWE trolls or marks, if this had been SD tonight and Punk returned the same fans would be creaming themselves, but they freak out about oldberg taker hhh hbk etc when they return, it's cool for WWE to bring in old guys but when AEW does it OMG so horrible, yet the only old guys they signed were Jericho & Sting, and both can still go, at least they don't botch moves or get hurt or hurt someone seriously who thought outside of Vince, his yes men & Saudi Arabia that oldberg/taker was a good main event, maybe 15 yrs ago.

I like Bubba Ray Dudley's idea. Start the show with CM Punk walking out to an empty ring and give him a microphone for ten minutes

Bully Ray needs to be hired somewhere as creative & as a wrestler, he was right & it was perfect, debut Punk at 10pm EST, give him a live mic for 10 mins pure gold, Punk is one of the best on the mic IMO.

Melinas' entrance vs Stacy Keiblers entrance

f**k, Melina in the skirt were awesome until Vince went PG, & would have the camera either cut away or have her blocked or them no more skirts just long pants, & damn Stacy, OMG

They, AEW, signed Mark Henry and Paul Wight fyi. I wouldnt be surprised if they sign Ric Flair at this point. That said let's not act like AEW marks bashing WWE for bringing back old wrestlers. I see it on both sides tbh.

It's ok to like both.

And we will remember the bolded for later

From one of the wrestling forums I follow. The dick measuring between both AEW and WWE marks is fun to watch. That said the dude saying Punk signing with AEW is the biggest signing since Hogan joined Wcw had me facepalm.

Overall, I do wish AEW wouldn't sign so many of these older stars. I am more than fine with getting the old stars in the roles of managers/announcers/on air personality, that's actually great. But getting guys like Christian and Hardy to wrestle just isn't necessary.

This spot was ridiculous :

So Punk returns and guy in audience is seen crying. People online took to making fun of dude. So Tommy Dreamer is now going out of his way to get this guy hooked up :

Not the biggest fan of Punk but that freaking ovation and what a promo. He ´s still charismatic as hell and a god on the mic.
He ´s the guy that beat Cena as a merchandise seller. He ´s a megastar.
We have to see how he is ring wise but he looks in great shape.
CM Punk with creative freedom in AEW could be unbelievable.
Now I can´t wait for Danielson because he ´s in his prime and as far as doing promos in "I don´t give a f**k" mode you can count on him.
